OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request for Review of Expiring 
Information Collection Form: OPM-1386B

AGENCY: Office of Personnel Management.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Public 
Law 104-13, May 22 1995), this notice announces that the Office of 
Personnel Management (OPM) has submitted to the Office of Management 
and Budget a request for review of an expiring information collection 
form, OPM-1386B, Applicant Race and National Origin Questionnaire. This 
form is used to gather information concerning the race and national 
origin of applicants for employment under the Outstanding Scholar 
provision of the Luevano Consent Decree, 93 F.R.D. 68 (1981).

[[Page 50225]]

    During the sixty-day comment period, OPM received two comments. The 
first comment stated that OPM should provide the OPM-1386B form 
electronically on OPM's website for applicants to complete and e-mail 
to the proper agency. It is our intent to provide the form 
electronically on the OPM website for agencies to download and 
distribute. The second stated that applicants should submit their 
information directly to OPM. In the section titled ``Monitoring, 
Recordkeeping and Reporting,'' of the Luevano Consent Decree it 
specifically states that agencies will be responsible for collecting, 
maintaining, and compiling statistics on the special programs.
    Approximately 100,000 OPM-1386B forms are completed annually. The 
60-day Federal Register Notice reported an incorrect response time of 8 
minutes. The correct estimated response time is 5 minutes with an 
annual public burden of 8,333 hours.
    For copies of this proposal, contact Mary Beth Smith-Toomey on
